Viola Liuzzo, a white mother from Detroit, gave her life for civil rights after witnessing Bloody Sunday. Driven by outrage, she joined the Selma march, only to be murdered by the KKK. The FBI then smeared her name to protect an informant. Her sacrifice helped pass the Voting Rights Act. A true hero. #ViolaLiuzzo #CivilRights #Selma #VotingRightsAct #KKK #FBICoverup #Hero | Keys DAN

#OTD Viola Liuzzo (Apr 11, 1925 - Mar 25, 1965). She was shot dead by 3 Ku Klux Klan members while driving activists between Selma and Montgomery, AL. Later on Dec 3, 1965, the Ku Klux Klan members Collie Wilkins, William Eaton and Eugene Thomas would be found guilty by an all-white, all-male jury, in Federal Court of the murder of Liuzzo. They were arrested immediately after the shooting due to the presence of a 4th man, FBI informant Gary Rowe.#History
